Your loved one is...

[AT23]

in need of a surgery. But the surgery is cancelled on the date it was supposed to be done on. The surgeon's excuse is that their loved one needed surgery so they stayed up for that the night before, therefore doesn't feel confident to perform surgery on your loved one because of his fatigue. How would you respond/react? A reminder for everyone that there is no right or wrong answer.

thats not fair if u ask me, but its not ethical to do surgery on a loved one any way isnt it?

[Ringlets]

Ill be patient and get another appointment for breast enlargement. Damn straight shes in need of it.

[Rekhyt]

I'd be mildly annoyed but who cares. They could just get another surgeon or do it later.

[Devious]

Get another surgeon.

[steeld]

getting surgeons isnt as easy as it sounds... still it's quite the dilemma... i wouldnt think it's fair... however i dont want it to be done poorly... if it wouldnt be anything life-threatening i'd sympathize, but if it was life-threatening i'd be damn angry...

[Misschoco]

My reaction would be pretty reserved-Depends on the actual state of mind your in.

[jehovah]

Ha ha! Fair play, thats quite funny.


In answer to the question, i'd understand the surgeons decision. I'd feel worried about my partner, but i dont think i could expect the surgeon to have put his work before his loved one. I mean, if i was the surgeon i wouldnt be able to concentrate on work or anything else. Id have stayed up with her the night before.

Well, thinking about both sides, they each have the right. Of course anyone is going to put their own family in front of someone else's. The fact that the surgeon was honest, and said that he/she would prefer to postpone the following surgery is good in my eyes. Having an honest surgeon, is better than having one who would have gone on with the surgery, whether feeling fatigued or not, and possibly going to cause harm to the patient. The surgeon's decision was right, in my opinion.

I can feel how the other family would feel too though. Having to wait longer for their loved one to be operated on, but thinking about how the surgeon wanted to make sure that he/she was capable of performing well, makes the whole situation seem right, in my eyes.
